“Tell me why I want you, Matteo?”

I gaze at him shyly and he appears confused at my question. I reach up and lay my hand flat on his face and do the same with the other one. As I hold his gorgeous face in my hands, I marvel at it. So strong, violent even, and I stare into those obsidian eyes and drown in danger. He is volatile, rough and yet so sexy my heart flutters every time he is by my side and there is never any moment of the day that I don’t want him to fuck me senseless.

“You are so wrong for me and yet I can’t imagine ever walking away. You are like the eye of the storm and the thunder in the sky. Deadly but breath-taking at the same time and an impossible madness. Why is it the most important thing in my life to make this work, even if it means walking away from everything I know?”

His hand snaps against mine and my breath hitches at the desire stirring the demon inside him. His eyes glitter as he whispers, “Because I’m your perfect madness. You are my queen and when two people meet who were meant for one another, they are a force of nature to be reckoned with. You bring out the best and worst of me and nothing can take you away from me all the time you want to be by my side. If you change your mind, it will ruin me, which is why it’s important never to give you a reason to walk away.”

His voice scratches against my heart, tapping until it finds a way in.

“I can’t imagine ever not wanting you. I can’t ever picture walking away from you and I’m only wondering if my body can stand the number of times I want you inside it.”

His low laugh makes me smile and I love it when he grips my head tightly and bites down softly on my lower lip, causing me to groan as he whispers huskily, “When you have healed, I want to demonstrate the pleasure I can bring to your body. The power of domination, not in a sadistic way.”

I shiver at the memory of another man’s idea of domination and Matteo strokes my face and whispers, “I will never hurt you, princess. You are the most precious thing in my world and it’s my job to cherish that. To make you happy and bloom under my touch. To protect and fight for you when nobody else will. To make you happy and safe and paste a permanent smile on your lips. I may not have experienced much of that growing up, but I realize its power. You have polished my soul and made me want to be a better man just to prove that I am worthy of keeping you.”

Pressing my lips to his, I kiss him lovingly and it’s different somehow. As if we are reciting our marriage vows and this time they come from the heart. The moment when I devote my life to my husband, because if I know only one thing, it’s that I have fallen hard and deep for the warrior in my arms.

Carefully, I push his jacket from his body and the cold steel of the gun rests against my naked body. It grazes my breasts and I shiver with desire. Dropping to my knees, I unzip his pants and take out his cock and caress it with a reverence that makes him hiss as his cum leaks at the tip.

I slide it home, loving the way he fills me entirely and as I worship my man on my knees, there is no shame involved. Just pure love because I want to give him double the pleasure he gives me and as he thrusts hard against the back of my throat, I adore every second of it. He fists my hair and pumps in hard, fast, and furious, as if he’s using me for pleasure. Iwanthim to use me, to get off on what I can do, and I moan against his velvet shaft as he gifts me his attention, and experience a tidal wave of emotion that pours down my throat.

“Fuck.” He groans as he empties inside my mouth and as I swallow, I relish the sensation as it glides like a river through my body.

If I spend the rest of my life on my knees before this warrior, I will die happy, and I never really expected to fall unconditionally in love with a man like him.

Matteo pulls me up and kisses me so deeply it makes my toes curl, and he returns the favor by dropping to his knees and spreading my legs. Then he reminds me just how good he is with that wicked tongue as he coaxes the most delicious soul shattering orgasm from inside my burning body, causing me to moan like a tortured soul denied entrance to heaven and then I come so hard it nearly brings me to my knees.

As my body shakes, he wastes no time in swinging me into his arms and lowering me back into the warm water, where I watch him strip before joining me.

He settles behind me and wraps those strong arms around my satiated body and pouring some soap on his hands, proceeds to wash my entire body with slow sensuous movements that bring me even deeper under his spell.

“Never leave me, princess.”

His low growl rests against my ear like a promise dressed in threats and I smile, loving how possessive my man is and not really believing I deserve it.

“How could I leave love, Matteo?”

He carries on massaging the soap into my body and I whisper, “When I was growing up, I read stories about when the princess finds her prince. It all seemed so normal, as if that was a certainty in life. Then, when my parents told me I was to marry Jefferson, I was confused. I didn’t love him and I sure as hell knew he didn’t love me. I asked my mom about it, and she told me angrily that love was just an excuse to make bad decisions. It messed up futures and had no place in our world.”

Matteo whispers, “She sounds like my father.”

I stroke his leg as it presses against me and whisper, “Then I feel sorry for them both. Because I wouldn’t trade these feelings for all the money and power in the world. If anything, this is the real power. The kind that makes a person invincible to protect the greatest emotion in the world.”

I turn and stare into his glittering eyes and whisper, “I love you, Matteo Ortega, and I would do absolutely anything for you. I just want you to know that.”

He appears almost emotional as he whispers, “I never believed love was going to feature in my life until I met you. Now I understand why we all chase the impossible dream, hoping to find it one day. I never did, and that’s why I’ve fallen so hard for you, princess, because you have given me something money can never buy. You accept me for who I am and love me regardless and for a man who has nobody ever look at him the way you look at me, tells me I am never letting you go. You’re stuck with me, and I pity the poor bastard who ever tries to interfere with that because you are mine, and I will do anything for you except allow you to walk away.”

His eyes flash with a possession that should scare the hell out of me, but I understand it. It’s a possessive fury that I share. What we have found is so amazing it hurts me to even think about losing it and I wrap my hand around it and hold on tight because I feel exactly the same.

Words are no longer necessary. We both know what this is and so I turn and rest my head against his chest, while my man takes care of me in the sweetest way. The water laps against our naked bodies and the silence washes across our battered souls and as I fall even deeper in love with my husband, I know I will never be alone again.

CHAPTER35

MATTEO

Abigail is worried. I know because she hasn’t spoken a word since we boarded my jet, and she took a seat by the window. I sit beside her with Cesare opposite. Stephanie has remained at home to heal, and I know he hates every minute he is away from her side. I understand his emotion because I feel it too. If Abi isn’t connected to me, it’s as if my air supply has been pulled and I struggle to breathe.

We discuss business for most of the flight and Abi listens to every word; the worry deepening in her eyes as we go over the facts.
